Hi Rob,
The only way I can see that they can convince a film camera that
it can fire is to convince it that there _is_ film there. With
all the Pentax models I've seen, that means using a mechanical
method to fool it into thinking that. With others that use
LEDs, the solution is much simpler.
I particularly liked this shot with a Pentax recently...

I have a job in Syracuse this weekend...do any of you know of any
decent photo shops there?
Thanks.

Frank, the difference is that, unlike bulls, motorcycles don't have
inherently bad attitudes. I'm not afraid to approach even a herd of
motorcycles, but a herd of bulls? And while a red flag may excite a bull, a
checkered flag would cause my bike to slow down and enter the paddock. vbg

I would never take my P67 on a vacation, way too
bulky once you consider taking a few lenses.
For medium format on the go, I like my folding RF
Zeiss Super Ikonta C ( 6X9 cm ). It's got a sharp
Tessar Lens ( when stopped down to f8 or smaller)
and its actually smaller than a 35mm SLR when folded.
Motorbikes dont have a brain of there own, so they do what they you tell
them to, except when its wet :)
Heres a group question:
How fast has your pentax gone? my MZ-S did 270kmh on the back of my last
motorbike :) not sure what that is in miles, but its fast.
Regards,
Paul
